Midwest Veterinary Laboratory (MVL) opened the doors in March of 2019 with the purpose of ensuring accurate and quality animal health testing with excellent customer service at cost-effective prices. Following the success of MVL, we were afforded the opportunity to expand into the central Florida region in early 2022.
MVL is a full service veterinary reference laboratory with the ability to service large and small animal practices as well as avian, reptile and exotic samples. At MVL we understand the need for rapid yet reliable results with the prompt and efficient courier services provided, we can ensure quick turnarounds on test results.
Since we are a small business reference lab, we take great pride in being able to work with each individual clinic to meet their needs, as well as maintaining effective communication with our on-site lab technicians that personally handled your samples. Our forward-thinking management allows for MVL to sustain a high level of understanding of the continuously evolving veterinary practices. We are continuously exploring opportunities for advancement in the latest technology and adding new testing to our lineup of in-house offerings.
